Crimping tool Neutrik HX-R-BNC Black Silver

The Neutrik HX-R-BNC Black Silver crimping tool is a hand tool developed for professional audio and video technicians who require reliable, repeatable crimps on BNC connectors. Constructed with durable materials and a compact profile, this crimper supports consistent mechanical and electrical connections for coaxial cable assemblies. Its ergonomic handle shape reduces user fatigue during extended use while the compact size aids access in confined workspaces and rack installations.

Advantages

The tool combines a robust construction with precise jaw alignment to produce uniform crimps that maintain signal integrity. An ergonomic grip and balanced weight distribution improve handling and control, allowing for accurate application of force. The compact form factor simplifies transport and storage while remaining suitable for workshop benches and on-site fieldwork. The design accommodates standard BNC connector geometries to ensure compatibility with common coaxial terminations used in audio/video systems.

Suitable for

• Crimping BNC connectors on coaxial cables for audio and video installations
• Field service and on-site repairs of broadcast, studio, and AV equipment
• Workshop assembly of patch cables and custom-length coax runs
• Use by technicians, engineers, and installers requiring repeatable crimp quality

Key specifications

• Intended connector type: BNC (crimp-style connectors)
• Compatibility: standard coaxial cable diameters used with BNC terminations
• Construction: metal jaws with corrosion-resistant finish and reinforced handles
• Handle design: ergonomic grip for extended use and improved control
• Size: compact hand-tool dimensions for access in tight spaces
• Operation: manual crimping action with precise jaw alignment for uniform crimps

How to use

Strip the coaxial cable to the correct conductor, dielectric, and outer jacket dimensions recommended for the BNC connector being used. Slide the connector parts onto the prepared cable and position the crimp sleeve or ferrule in the jaw area of the connector. Place the connector in the tool jaws so that the ferrule or designated crimp area aligns with the crimping profile, then squeeze the handles evenly until the crimp is completed. Inspect the crimp visually and, when required, verify electrical continuity and mechanical retention with appropriate test equipment.

Recommendations

Use cable and connector combinations that match the tool’s crimp profile for reliable results. Perform sample crimps when switching connector types or cable sizes to confirm correct strip lengths and crimp force. Store the tool in a dry environment and periodically check jaw alignment and condition to sustain consistent crimp quality.
